ok here is what i found today from another dealer in my area....The Tech guy i talked today said it is not normal for you to have flashing CEL however for the conditions that has occurred in this area with temps in minus category for more than 9 days it has become the normal for this dealership to deal with this same kind of problem in all kinds of cars...tech guy said its the weirdest stuff he has ever seen and they cant explain why... my car sat in my garage for 9 days in ave temps of about 15 degrees or less for those days...Started car to move it out to the driveway ,no problems, no weird start or CEL, left it out in cold for about two hours while i cleaned the garage....Went to pull car back into garage notice a ghost like cam sound from the exhaust, move into garage and noticed the CEL blinking ...immediately turn car off and let set for about 45 seconds,, started again and blinking light went away ..went out that day and put water out gas treatment in the fuel and to date have not had anymore problems.. Tech said that was his first guess that you might of developed a little condensation in the fuel siting so long and that second start finally got some moisture up to where it needed to be to cause the problem.....No recorded codes where found on ECU...But if it happens again to bring it back A.S.A.P....Funny thing happened when i went into the second dealer to have this checked out , the first dealer i delt with was in the service room looking right at me,,,awkward to say the least!!!!
